Should I do it?
Hey y’all
Have an opportunity to fish Bristol Bay this year. Have never done anything like this- seems pretty intimidating, let me know if the juice isn’t worth the squeeze on this one!
I’d make about $5-10k as a greenhorn (is that standard?). I’d be there 6-7 weeks, a week of setup beforehand and a week of breakdown after. Would have about 45 minutes to 3 hours a sleep a day for about three weeks when the fish are really coming. Captain is really adamant about hauling as much as possible, understandably. The sleep thing just worries me a bit- I know working with heavy machinery can get extra dangerous with that level of sleep deprivation. On a 32ft boat catching sockeye with a gill net. Travel expenses and gear would be on me.
What do y’all think? Should I do it?
